-<li>C++ programs are likely to fail on IA64, as calls to <tt>setjmp</tt> are
-made where the argument is not 16-byte aligned, as required on IA64. (Strictly
-speaking this is not a bug in the IA64 back-end; it will also be encountered
-when building C++ programs using the C back-end.)</li>
-
-<li>The C++ front-end does not use <a href="http://llvm.org/PR406">IA64
-ABI compliant layout of v-tables</a>. In particular, it just stores function
-pointers instead of function descriptors in the vtable. This bug prevents
-mixing C++ code compiled with LLVM with C++ objects compiled by other C++
-compilers.</li>
-
-<li>There are a few ABI violations which will lead to problems when mixing LLVM
-output with code built with other compilers, particularly for floating-point
-programs.</li>
-
-<li>Defining vararg functions is not supported (but calling them is OK).</li>

-<li>The Itanium backend has bitrotted somewhat.</li>
+<li>The Itanium backend is highly experimental, and has a number of known
+ issues. We are looking for a maintainer for the Itanium backend. If you
+ are interested, please contact the llvmdev mailing list.</li>
